Why can I only order 1 EDGE device when browsing online?

Several EDGE plan / share MORE plan questions from potential customer:

1. Why can I only order 1 EDGE device online when browsing options?

2. I have a large family, especially now that my mother is suddenly unable to live alone. How many total lines and how many EDGE phones are allowed on one plan?

3. Since my mother already has a VZW iphone4, can I add her to the plan at $15 for her line if I buy 10G or more data?

My family has a hodgepodge of plans, since VZW was too expensive compared to other options in the past and some of the older ones have had smart phones longer than others, etc. Ultimately I am trying to find out if I can add 5 EDGE devices, plus one already owned device at the $15 rate for that line, as long as I have 10+ GB of data (probably looking at 12 to be safe).

Is this possible? And can I order online? It's really difficult to make it to a store during hours right now.

Thanks in advance for any assistance!

I just converted all 10 of my lines to the more everything. 6 on the edge program. I did it all over the phone, fairly simple and easy. The one caveat that I've not seen anywhere, is that there is a $4,000 hard limit on the amount you can finance on the Edge program at one time.

As far as your Mom's phone. You can get the $25 credit if she is out of contract, or when she goes out of contract. For a couple of my lines, one that was a basic phone out of contract and the other was a new line, I bought a couple of Iphone 4s from Craigslist for $180 for both. These 2 lines will cost me $15 a month.

Good morning andrewmanning! Let's get answers to all your questions!

1. Ordering phones via Edge is subject to credit check. See number 3 at the link http://vz.to/1dG4Hpu

2. You can have up to 10 lines in a More Everything plan http://bit.ly/T8w8iM All can be Edge if you qualify as per credit check.

3. Yes, you should be able to add her to your account.

1). The Edge phone is assigned to a particular line, so you have to choose the line then buy it for that line. You have to do this for each phone line. You can't buy them in a batch.

2). The More Everything Plan can have 10 phone lines.

3). If the phone is not on a 2-year contract, you can get the discount if you're on the more everything plan. Just go to Features and add the discount.

It looks like you can only buy one Edge phone online when setting up a NEW More Everything Plan. If you are already one the More Evverything Plan, you should be able to go to each phone and purchase through the Edge upgrade.

Thank you both for your help. I have a few follow-up questions for the best path forward if I switch to Verizon for all of our lines--quite a few phones to order and numbers to port form various carriers (StraightTalk, T-mobile prepaid, ATT).

-Can I order the first EDGE phone online, creating my account and porting my number, then wait two days (so that I have received and activated my new phone), then add the next line / EDGE phone / port number, and continue in that fashion?

If not, can I go in person and order multiple phone lines / ports to the EDGE program on the share more everything plan at the same time?

Or,

Can I do a combination--go in person to add my first four lines, then add the others individually online? Is there a time requirement between changes?

Thank you again.

andrewmanning,

You've definitely asked great questions, they're very important. I am pleased to say you can establish service in the manner you prefer. You would start with http://bit.ly/qDhvBY , which is how you will port your number. Then, select the phone and Edge, as well as a plan selection. You can continue to do so in the manner.
